spookywillow Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 try 3 things run a disk cleanup defragment 3 times in a row disable all start up programs in msconfig and run the test again also have you seen what it says in UPGADE DISKDRIVES you have very little free space which dramatically reduces performance Link to post Share on other sites

flewpastu Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 are there any CD , CDRW or DVD drives on the same IDE cable as the HD if so that can really slow it down alot also make sure you are using an 80ribbon cable and not a 40 ribbon cable they look simmiliar so it would be better to get a known good round ata133 ide cable and set the HD to master and be only drive on the cable .... also back up some files you really dont want to lose to free up some space and clear out some junk you dont need ...........but worse case scenario is that the HD may be on the way out so it would always be best to back up the stuff you dont want to lose Link to post Share on other sites

stormy13 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Another reason for slow drive speeds is how full the drive is. from your test: Size 28609 MB Free space 8844 MB (31%) Also you need to find out what is causing 43% cpu load. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 i dont think the size matters becaze i had it way down too 5gbs and it still said 3mbs uncached speed i think i know whats the 43% is i aways got too do debug mode too stop the up load test it wont go thew normal Link to post Share on other sites
